Congratulations! You have just purchased Megatech’s Micro-Fly the most stable, readyto- y helicopter ever o ered—period! The precision synchronization of its CBR-Drive™
(Contra Balanced Rotational Drive), keeps the twin rotors rotating in exact harmony.
Accordingly, the Micro-Fly performs rock-steady hovering right out of the box. Also
adding to Micro-Fly’s fantastically easy-going ying characteristics is centrifugal
stabilization o ered by the weighted y-bar; a feature normally found on more
expensive model helicopters.
